Ismail Pasha.
One of the mosb remarkable facts of contemporary history is the curious manner in which Ismail Pasha has been quickly permitted to drop out of sight and memory. Most people imagine that the ex-Khedive is dead, so little is the curiosity evinced a 3 to the whereabouts of a man to whom the Turkish Government has granted the enormous sum of £1,000,000 per annum. A few years ago Ismail Pasha was perpetually to the front, now in Paris at the Grand Hotel, or at Vichy drinking the water. Ho passed the winter in the greatest magnificence at Rome or Naples, and the summer season at various fashionable watering-places, of which Horn burg and Vichy were the favourites. Ismail is now living a prieoner in one of the mosb splendid palaces on the Bosphorous, Ha enjoys his revenues and every luxury money can procure, bub with the outer world he may not and, what is more, he cannot communicate. If ho were buried in a vault or dungeon, his seclusion could not be greater, for beyond the ladies of his harem and his attendants,|the ex-Khedive seesand hearsno human face or voice. One day he will be found dead, and be sure there will be no inquest.
